people have it in there brain that weed is a totally bad thing. well what about Tylenol or any of those drugs, it helps you when you have a headache, weed just helps me settle down. same difference.
plus weed is a plant, tylenol is manufacutured so which do you trust???
Actually, Tylenol in quantity is extremely toxic, it can cause severe liver damage and death with as little as 5 times the recommended dosage (depending on weight, metabolism, liver function and age). It is impossible to overdose on marijuana. While it does have properties of a barbiturate, it does not significantly suppress the respiratory, nervous or circulatory systems or impact the liver even when taken in huge quantity per unit time. There is not one case in the history of humankind of anyone dying directly from marijuana intoxication alone (although if you smoked it in same quantity some smoke cigarettes lung cancer could result). Alcohol and Nicotine, on the other hand, have claimed more lives than all of the wars throughout human history.
That being said, do not automatically assume plants are less harmful than man-made substances. There's some plants, especially certain mushrooms that contain psychoactive substances, that will kill you dead as a doornail, even in very small quantity. The benefit of plants over chemicals is the composition of plants is known if not artificially manipulated. There's no telling how much Drano the the meth-lab puts in their product. But, don't think for a second that marijuana is perfectly "safe" because it's a plant. I've tested marijuana that has been chemically treated with all sorts of things, such as formaldehyde (cigarettes can have this too), cocaine, methamphetamine, ethyl or methyl alcohol, and even fruit juice as the crystallized sugar makes it look and smell more potent. So, be careful and don't assume all marijuana is "just" marijuana because it's a plant.
